Topic: New kittens!! (Read 8996 times)

6 or 8 months ago, as I was pondering the age of our cats, I suggested to hubby that we should get a Sphynx. His reply at the time was "No, they're ugly!". Whatever.

A couple weeks after we lost Murphy, he suddenly says, "You know, I think we should look into getting a Sphynx!" I wanted to boot him upside the head, but refrained. I'm a good wife. LOL

So, we started looking around for breeders and found a decent looking one locally. They test for HCM, which can be a big issue with Sphynx, she feeds raw from the start, and she had a boy available! She does all their vaccines and altering before they go home, which is awesome.

He's such a snuggle bug. And all he wants is to be with us. He is a kitten, so he's curious beyond belief, and gets himself into trouble, and he frolics and plays and falls off things, but he's been very good for our hearts. I'll try to remember to share more pics as he grows!

Ah, the fine art of management. Making suggestions and laying wait until they become somebody else's idea for implementation. The kitten is gorgeous and sounds like a total sweetie! These little guys look like a Botox before pic, even more so than the Shar-pei 'cause they don't grow into their wrinkles. I am happy to see that your cat-free existence lasted only a bit longer than my rat-free one did.

And if that fleece thing around my neck looks familiar, that's because it's a ratoob. LOL Necessity is the mother of invention, and I needed to be able to snuggle him and use the computer at the same time. LOL

If you're my friend on FB, you know that we went last week and got Raith a brother. The breeder had asked us when we got Raith if we would be willing to take one of the outcross kittens (aka those with fur) at no additional charge. Sort of a buy one, get one deal. At that point, we said we'd consider it, but that we'd likely be interested, since we weren't sure how long Isis would be around, and we'd need a buddy for Raith at some point. Well, after Isis passed, the time table got pushed up a little. She had a kitten that had been reserved, but the adopter had backed out, so he needed a place. We went out to meet him, and brought him home.
